The conference "Religion in Education: Findings from the Religion & Society Programme" took place in Warwick 25-26 July.

The conference provided the opportunity for various researchers and research groups involved in the Religion and Society Programme (the largest cluster of research projects on Religion and Society ever to be conducted in the UK) to present their insights and findings to others as well as to have them questioned and, if needs be, challenged.

About 100 delegates, including several from mainland Europe (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, representing various universities and the EWC) attended the conference. At both the human and the academic level, however, the events that had happened in Norway the previous Friday were never far from delegates’ minds-in that themes such as diversity, identity, social justice and inter-religious understanding threaded their way through virtually all conference presentations.
